I need a controller that won't require me to use Windows 10, because I want to continue using Windows 8. I would wager the odds of a new line of XBox remotes officially supporting Windows 8 as "low".I'm glad you're happy with your purchase, but were I in your shoes this seems premature. It operates under the assumption that the next generation of xbox controllers will be worse for your needs, when I don't really see any logical reason to have those fears to begin with.
And I guess the GameCube controller.
I just got a StrikerDC myself, and can confirm that it feels really good in my hands. My only complaint is that the triggers feel a bit mushy compared to the OEM controller, but the tradeoff of being able to play games for longer than twenty minutes at a stretch with no hand-cramping is totally worth it. Their Brawler64 pad is also very nice!As for the Dreamcast controller, the RetroFighters controller for DC is FANTASTIC.
Does anyone know of a switch left joycon with dpad that can connect untethered? Seems like the hori ones only work in switch portable mode (i do have the great slime controller so it's not a necessity, more of a curiousity)
Sadly these Joycon alternatives are just like Hori's others in that they only work when attached directly to the Switch itself; they lack wireless, NFC and rumble. I do find them dang comfortable to use though, and the turbo button is great for grinding out crafting in Animal Crossing.That's a very nice design. If the pad is precise enough for action/puzzle platforming like Shovel Knight or The Messenger, would it be possible to attach the controllers to the Joycon dock? It's cheaper than the 8bitdo alternative, soooo...
Fuuuuuck, I just broke the right trigger on my StrikerDC while playing Bangai-O. Judging by the sound of tiny bits of plastic rattling around inside the controller now, I must have snapped off a little plastic post that holds the trigger in position. Plus this isn't the first time I've broken a third-party DC controller; I bought a MadCatz DreamPad a few years back and managed to do the same thing to the left trigger. Guys, I think I might be gripping my controller too hard...I just got a StrikerDC myself, and can confirm that it feels really good in my hands.
